The Imberlin system existed within the Imberlin sector, which was situated in the Slice region of the larger Expansion Region. By the year 2 ABY, an unaffiliated trader found themselves in conflict with Imperial law enforcement operating in that system. As a result, the Gand findsman named Lu'daal-ud apprehended the trader, and during this event, he took possession of the merchant's shuttle, known as the Mist Laden.
The Imberlin system initially appeared within Alliance Intelligence Reports, a sourcebook released in 1995 for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game by West End Games. The StarWars.com Online Companion for the 2009 reference work The Essential Atlas specified its location as grid square P-14.
